America and the World: Conversations on the Future of American Foreign Policy

The original recordings of spontaneous, unscripted conversations between two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy define the international challenges facing the next president. The status of the United States as a world power, and the nature of power itself, are at a historic turning point. It is essential that we understand and adapt to the new security environment in which we find ourselves. Listen in as two former national security advisors dissect the most significant foreign policy challenges we face today: the Middle East, Russia, China, Europe, the Developing World, and what Zbigniew Brzezinski has called the "global political awakening." Brzezinski is a Democrat, Brent Scowcroft a Republican, and they don't see eye-to-eye on everything. But both men are independent, non-partisan voices of the center, and they share a great deal of common ground. America and the World explores their agreements and their disagreements. In so doing, it defines the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy at a time when the nation's decisions could determine how long it remains a superpower.
